changed my mind, it would be perfectly enough to change the player's mouseover hint to "You (36/37)" in order to communicate health.

note: changing weather at night changes the visibility radius to what the weather would have during the day .. letting you see farther in a bad weather night than in a good weather night.

went SE from the ft, through the mountains to the L2 town. bot 80 slots, kept moving S, then W to the next town.  arrived with ~40 items in my pack. trying to survey them I wound up with 3 slots locked by cursed items.

looked at the manual, searched for curse, found only a reference to '8 sanctuaries'. had no cheese to uncurse. damn. wound up crafting my first cheese from a venom-sack after almost rage-quitting. spent over an hour looking for and hunting spiders.  did 2 dungeons. 1 uncurse-cheese dropped while fighting during an eclipse.

love. it. have some spare venom sacks now -- hopefully enough to handle cursed newly picked up items.  took over a building in my final t2 town, built chests, sorted my loot. so i now have ~40 new pieces .. and maybe 3 of those will also be cursed. 

fun was had discovering the (very well done) fauna and flora in the new-to-me biomes. great level of detail.

also got a submerged dungeon which was also the first example of the game using another algo to partition the space.

what was learned?  


not only are nights spent with a home-campfire and a few active defense insanely profitable, having 5 lifesteal and 3 thorns is quite enough to feel perfectly safe at night (again.)  this is with 2 cursed items still.

have yet to camp the vendor again to buy more identify cheese. he restocks a tad to often, doesnt he?

oh .. and forests regrown in their entirety over night. that was a surprise. perhaps that should take mucho more time?

all is well. ty again!
